The CTRM Conference is a unique 1-day event focused on the $ 1.6billion CTRM software category. It brings together end users, service practitioners and software vendors to focus on the key issues and trends that impact the CTRM software category.

The CTRM Conference is a compelling agenda of presentations, knowledge sharing and roundtable discussions involving key users of CTRM and associated software and services in the industry –supplemented by excellent networking opportunities. Organized by ComTech and Commodities Now Magazine. Current sponsors also include Bronze sponsor, Scalable.

“We are very pleased to have OpenLink as a key sponsor of this important event for those in the business of trading, moving or managing commodities,” said Dr. Gary M. Vasey, Managing Partner of ComTech Advisory.

The theme of the CTRM Conference will be focused on the business value delivered by, and total cost of ownership, of E/CTRM software. In a year that started with a precipitous drop in the price of crude oil and many other commodities, the key challenge is to understand the mission critical role of E/CTRM software. Our industry is about change and adaptation and E/CTRM software also has to evolve, be cost effective and deliver business benefits.

The CTRM Conference will be held at the Thistle Marble Arch hotel on October 22nd, 2014. Further details including registration and sponsorship information can be found at http://www.ctrmconference.com.
